Moving Forward After Cancer

Welcome! Moving Forward After Cancer is a learning suite designed for family medicine and oncology postgraduate trainees. It presents a collaborative model for the delivery of follow-up or “survivorship” care to patients recovering from treatment for early stage cancer.

Moving Forward After Cancer is delivered across three integrated learning environments. An online self-study course prepares students to participate in an instructor-led workshop, which is rounded-off with an opportunity to practice skills in a clinical experience.

Online self-study course

The Online Course component of the Moving Forward After Cancer curriculum is comprised of six units, each covering from two to five survivorship topics. Unit 6 addresses cancer site-specific follow-up care strategies for breast, prostate and colorectal cancers, and has been divided into three, focused tracks. Students of the Moving Forward After Cancer curriculum are only required to complete the track chosen as a focus for the workshop, but they are free to view others.

* You must create an account and be logged in to take this online course. This is free of charge, quick to complete and you will not be contacted by the University of Manitoba.

About the Curriculum

Online Self-Study Course – Viewing six multimedia presentations, students of this curriculum will learn the clinical recommendations for the effective delivery of cancer follow-up care. Among the aims of the online module are to help physicians develop a better understanding of the cancer survivor and to identify and describe the core elements of cancer follow-up under the headings of prevention, surveillance, intervention and coordination of care.

Workshop –This classroom-based, facilitator-led workshop uses case studies to highlight key challenges in managing cancer follow-up care. We encourage you to include both family medicine and oncology residents in this workshop when feasible to support their collaboration.

Contributors

The Moving Forward After Cancer curriculum project was developed in response to recommendations of the Institute of Medicine’s highly influential 2006 report From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor – Lost in Transition. This report calls on oncologists, family physicians and cancer patient advocates to recognize survivorship as a distinct phase in the cancer care continuum and to work collaboratively toward improved survivorship care across treatment settings.

Curriculum content was vetted by a national committee of practicing oncologists, family physicians and postgraduate trainees of both disciplines, as well as a patient advisory committee of more than two dozen cancer survivors.
